A vote for Brexit is a leap into the abyss - FT.com:

"The year 2016 will see the UK’s “renegotiation” of its relationship with the EU. It is also likely to be the year of the subsequent referendum. Indeed, the latter might occur in the early summer. David Cameron, UK prime minister, is clearly right on one point: “This is perhaps the most important decision the British people will have to take at the ballot box in our lifetimes.” Here then are seven points about that strategically vital decision.
First, the renegotiation and the referendum are an unnecessary irritant, but one with potentially serious consequences. No change in the UK’s relationship with the EU was in the offing. The sensible thing for a Conservative would have been to let this sleeping dog lie. The prime minister did not do this, for reasons of internal party management. Now we have to live with the results."
